His role as the animal-fluent doctor in Dolittle must be the worst, however – a charmless and insipid spin on a classic children’s premise.Īs an actor, Tom Hardy makes big choices. It’s no small shame, therefore, that his acting career after the success of Iron Man has pretty much been confined to Marvel’s Tony Stark – since The Avengers in 2012, his only sizable non-MCU roles have been The Judge and Dolittle, both of which could be charitably described as letdowns. There have been few men as naturally charismatic as RDJ the camera loves him, and so do audiences. Natalie Portman as Padme Amidala in ‘Attack of the Clones' (LucasFilm) Sharing most of her scenes with Hayden Christensen’s pouting Anakin, Portman’s Padme Amidala is painfully wooden and devoid of charisma turgid political plotlines set around the Galactic Senate also gave Portman no room to flex her considerable talents. Natalie Portman was never serviced well by Attack of the Clones’s script, but this nonetheless endures as one of her worst performances. Natalie Portman – Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002)Īll three Star Wars prequels were blessed with an abundance of skilled actors all three also featured some truly terrible performances, often by those same actors. What a horrible and ancient curse that could have been.
Had Warner Bros’ planned (and prematurely announced) “Dark Universe” panned out, Crowe would have got his own standalone film as the bifurcated literary character.
The scene in which Crowe wigs out and transforms from the sanguine doctor to the feral Mr Hyde is one of the most giddily over-acted in recent memory, and the dodgy CGI is just the icing on the cake. The overall lacklustreness of this Tom Cruise vehicle helped disguise Crowe’s performance as Dr Jekyll (of “and Mr Hyde” fame), which was quietly the worst supporting turn of Crowe’s career. Zac Efron and Robert DeNiro in the raunchy and reviled comedy ‘Dirty Grandpa' (© 2016 DG Licensing, LLC. In terms of sheer, degrading “how did it come to this” moments, there’s nothing on par with Dirty Grandpa, however, in which De Niro plays a randy septuagenarian who accompanies his grandson (Zac Efron) to Florida for Spring Break. Though he’s still able to pull greatness out the bag (see: The Irishman), his recent output offers a litany of phoned-in performances, from Little Fockers to The Comedian. Once considered by many to be the best actor on the planet, De Niro’s star has waned somewhat in recent years. But the Ocean’s Eleven star certainly doesn’t cover himself in glory with his take on the caped crusader, resulting in what might be the worst on-screen Batman in memory. There’s no way the blame for this notorious superhero flop can be placed solely at Clooney’s door from head to bat-toes, this film was daft, indulgent and misconceived. It’s not very funny, and Pacino seems almost demeaned by his very presence in it. Playing himself, Pacino mugs his way through a musical advertisement for a beverage called a “dunkaccino”. However, there’s none that quite stick in the craw quite so jarringly as his brief cameo in the bleakly bad Adam Sandler vehicle Jack and Jill. One of the greatest actors to have ever lived, Al Pacino has nonetheless been known to give his fair share of questionable (over-)performances throughout the years.
